問題詳情:
It’ S human to want light and warmth. God’ S first recorded words were “Let there be light”. And night belongs to the dark side. Electricity ’ S triumph over the night keeps us safer as well as busier. We now live in a fast-moving,fully lighted world where night still happens, but is optional to experience. Our all-weather culture has washed out the night. In fact we treat the night like failed daylight.
Yet slowness and silence—the different rhythm of the night—are a necessary correction to the day. I think we should stop being night-resisters,and learn to celebrate the changes of the seasons,and adjust ourselves to autumn and winter ,not just turn up the heating,leave the lights on and complain a lot.
Night and dark are good for us. As the nights grow longer,it’s time to reopen the dreaming space. Have you ever spent an evening without electric light?
We have all experienced negative darkness—those long nights when we can ’ t sleep,and worry about everything, and so we know that “dark time” can seem endlessly long ,compared with daytime. Yet this slowing of time can be the most relaxing and beautiful experience. Spending the evening in candlelight ,and maybe by the fire—without TV—talking,telling stores,we let the lit-up world go by without us ,expand the hours,and change the thoughts and conversations we usually have.
I have noticed that when all the lights are on,people tend to talk about what they are doing—their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight,people start to talk about how they are feeling——their inner lives. They argue less,there are longer pauses.
To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at nightfall ,but not if I switch on the lights.
Fire,dreams, slowness, time, quietness, books, seasons—all these things,which are not really things,but moments of life—take on a different quality at night-time,when the moon reflects the light of the sun,and we have time to reflect what life is to us,knowing that it passes and that every bit of it,in its change and its difference,is the here and now of what we have.
